6th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year A - One Day At A Time

In this Sunday’s Gospel (Mt. 5:17-37), we have the privilege of continuing to read from the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus himself lays out his basic teaching. What we find today is Jesus as the new Moses. Like Moses, he goes up on a mountain, and he receives and then gives a new, intensified Law. Jesus says, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfill.”

Jesus wants the corrective power of the Law to go beyond merely the behavioral level and to get down to the level of the heart. We are not called to spiritual mediocrity; we are called to be saints!

In honour of this Gospel, we would like to share our latest video, "One Day At A Time", a popular Christian-country song recorded by hundreds of artists over the years, that was originally written by Marijohn Wilkin during a difficult time in her life.

At a low point in her life and after having a brief chat with a young minister, she went home, sat down at the piano and began to play and sing—out loud—the entire chorus to ‘One Day at a Time.’ She remembers, "It just dropped into my heart. And when I had finished singing, my ‘Nashville mind’ said, ‘That’s a hit!’ That was the first thing that popped into my head. I then recognized that the song was a prayer—and I got some relief."

Wishing everyone a relaxing and healing weekend.

God bless,
